Match Trivia
Rangers provided the opposition at Hampden, before a crowd verging on 50,000. The play throughout was never one-sided. Rangers lost the full count on tactics. There was no McMenemy touch in the front line to distribute the play. The Inside men played to the centre, and the forwards persisted in trying to bore through impossible positions. This was manifest up to the time that Bowie changed with Muirhead, and then the Queens defence had their backs to the wall. It was a non-scoring game. Queens had all the better of the chances going, and with offside decisions favouring them, they should have crossed with a two-goal lead. Gordon, for once, was not dependable, and during the first forty-five he was often beaten. Lock was safe in goal, and Ritchie improves. Dixon was the best of the halfs. A clever front line blemished their display by wrong methods, and there was not one outstanding in the five. The only player a field who enhanced his reputation was Hunter. He was class throughout in anticipation and confidence. TM Young was good at back. McKenzie was the Queens hope at half, and forward AL Morton, Kinloch and McFarlane were outstanding. Rangers started well, and Cunningham missed from the right when Queens came into the glare Lock was in luck when a ball from Kinloch took the bar at the junction. Time and again Cairns played to advantage, but invariably parted injudiciously. Queens gave nothing away in defence. Dixon had a shot blocked and Lock was hurt in effecting a daring clearance. Both sides squandered scoring chances, and at the interval there was nothing done. After then minutes Archibald had the best shot of the game. Russell should have from Morton centre. Hunter to the end refused to be beaten, clearing brilliantly a great try by Ritchie.
